Your Dissertation Is an Assignment

You keep telling yourself this dissertation has to be perfect. That it has to honor your family, your community, your ancestors. And that pressure is the reason you haven't written a single page in weeks. In this episode, Dr. Marvette Lacy reminds you of one simple truth—your dissertation is not your life's masterpiece. It's an assignment. It's your first attempt at research, not your final one. You'll learn why chasing perfection keeps you stuck, how fear disguises itself as overthinking, and what it actually takes to hit submit. If you want to finish faster and with way less stress, this episode will give you the permission and the plan to do it.
